## Summary

The procurement process for the Microsoft Enterprise Subscription Agreement is led by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which is based in Blackpool, England. This contract falls under the goods category, specifically for software package suites, with a total value of £42,950,000. The procurement method employed was classified as 'Other', and the tender period concluded on 4th November 2016. The contract commenced on 1st January 2017 and remains effective until 31st December 2019.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in software and IT services. Companies with expertise in providing comprehensive software solutions and licensing, especially those capable of offering support for Office 365, would be well-positioned to compete. As the DWP is a large government buyer, successful suppliers can gain a significant foothold in the public sector, potentially leading to further contracts within similar government frameworks.
